This scarce card was issued
by the SINGER SEWING MACHINE Co. of the U.S.A,
as an advertising premium for their machines. The series is entitled FLOWERS FOR
REMEMBERANCE and is listed in Burdicks American Card Catalogue as series
H702. I have not been able to find a listed date of
issue for this series but I speculate that it must have been sometime during
the 1890's, as many of the Series of cards that singer issued were from a
similar time period. The front of each card features a stunning and colorful illustration
of the featured flower, while the back features advertising for their line of
products. This card features PANSIES . The Card measures 5 3/4 inches by 3 5/8
inches approximately. This card does have
some creasing near the corners, and some areas of slight discoloration. However I think it displays well. I
have scanned the card fairly large
for you to be able to judge condition for yourself . This is one of the tougher
of the Singer issued series of cards to come by. They don’t come up on ebay all that often. I will be trying to list several EARLY
TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different
categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that
were put given away with Tobacco, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee
Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native
American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf,
Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities,
Dog Breeds and Circus themes. To view the other cards I have up on ebay
please click on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page.
It will take you directly to them.
Due to my work schedule and distance to
the post office I am only able to ship Monday Mornings. If I haven’t received payment for an
item by Sunday evening, the item will have to wait until the
next Monday to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.
If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid
or buy. Thanks again.
This will be mailed
from the USA.
Unfortunately Ebay’s
Global Seller Program does not allow for combined shipments on international
order
